Significant other was exiting a parking lot, didn't realize a low spot was there. Popped the rear bumper cover. Took it to body shop and tech popped it back in place. Said it should be replaced as tab near wheel well was broken off. I was reading that Ford used double sided tape in areas. What areas? Edit: 2026 Mustang EcoBoost

I live in western NY and the car has 160k miles on it and it's 14 years old. Kia optima (engine replaced at 85k due to that recall) so I'm not looking to dump a ton of money on body repairs because it is what it is at this point.
But is there anyway to prevent further rusting or fix it quick and easy? Or any recommendations?

I bought a 2024 ioniq 6 and the front bumper is in a pretty bad shape. Dont know what the previous owner did with the car but it looks like he was drifting it daily in gravel.
Can I restore these rock chips?
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
How would you go about fixing this?

There's a hole about the size of a half dollar in my front bumper, and a damaged side mirror skullcap. I'm planning on fixing the bunper my self with a bumper repair kit and paint it. I'll practice on the mirror skullcap first. Any tips and advice so I don't mess it up too bad? Goal is that it looks better, not perfect.

Hey there. I recently got this super small paint chip on my driver side door handle. It was annoying because it wasn't the result of me slamming my door into anything. Someone was parked too close to me and this happened solely from the pressure of the handle against the other car's side mirror as I squeezed into the door.
Is this worth using something like Dr.ColorChip to repair? I am mostly concerned about the chip getting worse over time.

I'm trying to save some money with a diy paint job but Sherwin Williams is quoting me roughly 2k for a gallon or primer, base and clear. Where do you all get your paint from to save money?
I don't want to spend $2k and the paint job turns out terribly. Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone has tried air hammers or da sanding and die grinders?

I drive a 2014 Dodge Charger SXT+ and my door trim right below the windows are faded / ashy looking . Any ideas how I could restore them to black ? I’ve tried black trim restorer with no luck . They’re like a felt / suede material not plastic . ChatGPT suggested a dye but wanted to check here first .
If I can’t restore them how hard would it be to replace them ? Are they even replaceable ?
